Identifying PFAS at Water Infrastructure Sites Act

This bill requires the Army Corps of Engineers to develop innovative technologies and methodologies for detecting and cleaning up perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances associated with federal facilities and, to the maximum extent practicable, support other federal agencies' efforts to address such substances.
